Bastelica is one of these typical villages, perched at an altitude of over 800m, and famous for its charcuterie and cheese. The <strong>Cascade du Voile de la Mari\u00e9e<\/strong> is one of Corsica&#8217;s most beautiful waterfalls, easily accessible by car from Ajaccio. We&#8217;re particularly fond of this less-frequented part of the island, with its remarkable authenticity. Other hikes, such as the <strong>Cascade des Anglais<\/strong>, offer the chance to get away from the coast for a day.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Corsica\/2a-Cascade-des-anglais\/i-5nJVSzW\/5\/MkzkMnXPfr2sJxwr22P4hJNfHjGVbbz7ZRtmtBcR6\/L\/cascade_des_anglais_Corse-48-L.jpg\" alt=\"Corsican mountains from Ajaccio - hiking\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you will see<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The village of Bastelica, with its granite houses and local gastronomic specialities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>La Cascade du Voile de la Mari\u00e9e, one of Corsica&#8217;s highest and most beautiful waterfalls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Prunelli gorge with its pools<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cascade des Anglais, accessible from the GR20, surrounded by Laricio pine forests<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Panoramic views of Corsican peaks and inland valleys<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Corsica\/1a-Prunelli-Tolla-Bastelica\/i-f2SvzpQ\/5\/NV3QmPGPcQdS6Lk58n94mBPFHcc9w67dTXkfLTfbQ\/L\/Bastelica_Corse-10-L.jpg\" alt=\"Village Bastelica\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much time should I allow?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a full-day excursion by car. Bastelica is about 45 minutes from Ajaccio, and the Voile de la Mari\u00e9e waterfall about 1 hour. We recommend combining the two sites into a single outing, with lunch in Bastelica to sample the local produce.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the Cascade des Anglais, allow 1 hour&#8217;s drive from Ajaccio and 1.5 hours for the return hike from the Vizzavona parking lot.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.

This small rocky promontory is home to fine sandy beaches and particularly calm, clear waters. We love this place for its relaxed atmosphere, ideal for an unhurried day.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <strong>Sea kayaking<\/strong> is particularly recommended here, to follow the coastline and discover nooks and crannies inaccessible on foot. It&#8217;s also a perfect destination for families who want to alternate between swimming and water sports.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Corsica\/19d-Isollela\/i-DfnvpQm\/5\/NfFk2qXPSfMN253D5R9qbCQrW6Gvcgzrnhpmf2md9\/L\/Isollela_corse-34-L.jpg\" alt=\"Isolella - rock formations\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you will see<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The sandy beaches and turquoise waters of the Isolella peninsula<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kayak-accessible coves lined with Mediterranean vegetation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rock formations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Crystal-clear seabed, perfect for snorkelling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Corsica\/19d-Isollela\/i-7DB5BDs\/5\/LFGMm6BRSdrrkxn8kZ2CvDLC3ggwm27RRbRsXKZxK\/L\/Isollela_corse-42-L.jpg\" alt=\"Isolella - island\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much time should I allow?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Isolella is about 30 minutes south of Ajaccio by car. Half a day is enough to enjoy the beach and kayaking, but a full day allows you to cover a lot of ground along the coast. We recommend you leave early to find a parking space easily in season.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"background-color:#f6dec9;margin-top:8%;margin-bottom:8%\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns inverse box_planif is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:58%\">\n<h5 class=\"titre_box\" style=\"padding-top:10px\">OUR TIPS FOR <span>RENTING A CAR<\/span> IN <span class=\"titre_box_manuscrit\">Corsica<\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:14px\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Compare prices on our preferred platform: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/france?a_aid=zigzag&amp;chan=CL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">DiscoverCars<\/a> &#8211; one of the best rated sites.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose a <strong>car that is powerful enough <\/strong>(the roads are steep) but <strong>compact<\/strong> (some passages are narrow).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remember to take out<strong>comprehensive insurance<\/strong> (some roads are winding and narrow).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is a lot of demand, <strong>book it early<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column planif-radius-3 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:42%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"421\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/corsicalovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/conduite_vertical.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5418\" style=\"width:280px;height:354px\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corsicalovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/conduite_vertical.png 421w, https:\/\/corsicalovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/conduite_vertical-237x300.png 237w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 421px) 100vw, 421px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-link-color has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/fr\/france?a_aid=zigzag&amp;chan=CL\" style=\"color:#ffffff;font-size:14px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">See available cars -&gt;<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/corsicalovers.fr\/en\/renting-car-corsica-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>See all our tips<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8.

Corsican public transport is limited outside the main roads. On the other hand, boat excursions (Scandola, \u00celes Sanguinaires, Bonifacio) leave directly from the port or include an organized transfer from Ajaccio: no personal vehicle is required. The open-top bus is also a good alternative for exploring the coast without driving.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s the best season for excursions from Ajaccio?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">High season runs from June to September, when all water sports activities and boat tours are available. Spring (April-May) and autumn (October) are also excellent for mountain hikes and village visits: temperatures are pleasant, nature is beautiful and there&#8217;s less traffic. Outside this period, some boat trips are suspended.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"margin-top:8%;margin-bottom:8%\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\"><div
